DARK HORSE SDCC 2026 SIGNING SCHEDULE<\/b><\/p>\n

All creators signing in our booth offer their autographs for FREE. At Dark Horse booth signings, FREE cards or poster prints are provided (while supplies last). Select books, comics, products, and convention exclusives can be purchased at our booth, or you can bring your own items to be signed; however, we may limit the type or number of items to be signed as necessary. See details for each signing below.<\/p>\n

WRISTBAND INFO<\/b>:\u00a0Some signings require a wristband for entry, as noted on the schedule. Drawings for wristbands for these events will begin when the exhibit hall opens to the public the\u00a0day before and the day of<\/b>\u00a0each signing, and will end when all allotted wristbands have been given out.<\/p>\n

Come to the Dark Horse booth early\u00a0(9:30 am is when the exhibit hall opens, though be prepared for earlier entry at the convention\u2019s discretion!) for wristband drawings and for the best chance to attend these events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note: Dark Horse does\u00a0not\u00a0begin distributing wristbands until attendees enter the hall; exhibitors\u00a0cannot<\/i>\u00a0get in line or draw for wristbands earlier than fan attendees.<\/p>\n

Lines may also be closed for some signings due to crowding or time restrictions.<\/p>\n

All events are subject to change, and some restrictions apply. Please see Dark Horse Comics staff at the booth if you have questions.<\/p>\n
